| Jian Shuo You may not be able to enjoy those comfy and spacious Boeing seats in future years. The Chinese obviously want an Airbus manufacturing plant in China. They also likely want all of Airbus’s technical and proprietary info. Question: will Airbus sell its technical *Airbus* heart and soul to China? Plane plant? Airbus is considering building a plant in Tianjin, which would be the first of its manufacturing facilities to be located outside of Europe. China has approved the French company's plan to build an A320 assembly plant, but Airbus has not yet made a final decision. The Chinese market for planes is expected to reach US$230 billion by 2023; as of October 31, 2005, Airbuses made up about 29% of the Chinese fleet. Boeing is still the leader in this market, something a China Airbus plant could possibly change. |
